12 Tags of Christmas Ornament 7

Mason Jar Lid 7

We're on the downhill slide of this 12 week challenge and I still continue to find endless amounts of inspiring ideas from Linda's tags. Below you will see how hers oozes with goodness and then the photos following show what I did.

I didn't have a stencil like she had, but I thought it was so pretty and a real eye catcher, I decided to make my own. Crackle paste was then used to create the background.

I tried to pull the light creamy colors from Linda's tag so I used Versamark to hold the shabby white embossing powder Fran-tage to cover the mason lid. A heat tool set the powder in very nicely.

Decoupage antique primer from Americana was used to prep the plastic snowflake for paint and heat. Once primed, I painted it with Vintage photo, Victorian velvet and black soot and then shrunk to desired size.

Linda's tag has wonderful holly on it and so I added its traditional color in Rayon seam binding using Dylusions ink spray.

Here's a close-up of the latest ornament and all it's many layers that were inspired by tag 7 of

OK girl these are so amazing! Well I tried one and it did not work as easy as you are showing us, hehe I figured out that I did not use the metal flat lid to hold it together, well of course I threw it out after I was done with the jar, there is another opportunity for me to try one of your techniques, I love them!!Hugs Kelly

Oooh Lisa, I think this might be my favorite one to date. LOVE the chunky Fran-ntage EP on the jar ring and your handmade stencil is fantastic. Gorgeous colors and textures on this one - a real beauty!

Background turned out very nice like hope the crackle paste turned out. Shabby white on the frame made a new look. I do have to say that poor snowflake.... But love the white leaves and the green ribbon.Hug, Pat
